But that's not what DEI is about. The limiting factor of DEI is "equality of outcome."
Sacrificing high-performance standards for "equality of outcome" is like a marathon race wherein all athletes must finish with the slowest runner.
Outcome is limited to the lowest common denominator of competence, conscientiousness, and intelligence.
Amen.
Which we used to call Communism. It drives the same result. DEI is just the same evil wrapped in a fresh blanket.
